The Court of Autumn and its allies seek to break Summer's hold on the Freehold of Miami before the Gentry return.

On Hiatus

Monsters

Cipactli - Aztec mythology; A hermaphroditic mixture of frog, fish, and crocodile, with dozens of mouths and a (literally) bottomless stomach.

Halloween Trees - Ambulatory, prank-loving pumpkin-trees associated with the Autumnal Solstice, inspired by the Ray Bradbury novel of the same name.

Mahaha - Inuit folklore; an Arctic humanoid from Inuit mythology that tickles its victims to death.

Mishe-Nahma, King of Fishes - A humongous sturgeon, large enough to swallow an entire canoe in a single gulp, and to capsize any vessel it can't swallow.

Obsidian Butterfly Swarm - A horde of tiny fluttering constructs, with glassy black wings which are sharper than the sharpest man-made knife.

Pixie, Common Garden - decorative (and highly-invasive) Old World fey, imported to the New World as living ornaments and alarm systems for the gardens of wealthy lords.

Pixie, Feral - After escaping into the wilds of the New World, Old World pixies adopted the characteristics of a particularly nasty New World plant: Toxicodendron radicans (commonly known as “poison ivy”).

Qiqirn - Inuit folklore; A huge, hairless canine that causes seizures in men and dogs alike.

Language Proficiency Subsystem - A method for representing varying degrees of fluency in spoken (and written) languages. Designed to improve upon the binary "known/not known" system of regular D&D.

A Cinematic History of the World - A grand tour of human history, from cave-people to the Space Race, in high-quality movies organized by era and region. (OK, so this isn't technically a homebrew, but it sure was fun to make.)

Dogsled Rules - I was surprised that Frostburn didn't contain any rules for dogsleds, since they're still a major form of Arctic transportation even in the modern era, so I decided to homebrew my own rules for their use and maneuvering.

Enchanted Canoe-Paddles - A series of magical paddles which generate powerful effects, from keeping your gear dry to creating whirlpools. Part of the Canoeing subsystem for Pathfinder.

Avatar by Gulaghar, thanks so much!Arkhosia's Assorted Nexus Stuff!"People wanted to be fooled. They really believed that you found gold nuggets lying on the ground, that this time you could find the Lady, that just for once the glass ring might be real diamond. You had to give them a show.”

Re: The Homebrewer's Extended Signature

Base Classes

Tome of the Holy Grail: Draw power from legendary heroes. Each one grants spellcasting, weaponry, and unique ability-boosting fusion modes. Comes with classes, feats, expansions, ACFs, prestige classes, and fluff. And invocations, if you want to play a warlock instead.

The Shifter: A shapeshifting class unique, fun, playable and balanced from level 1 to 20. Comes with feats.

The Dashing Dualist: A balanced dual-wielder capable of competing with the greatsword for damage. As fun out-of-combat as in!

The Rappeler: A tier 3 focused-summoning full caster. Rappelers have unique and meaningful mechanics to support their summoning.

The Wuxia Fighter: The same, yet exact opposite of the professional. A mundane class that powers up every 5 levels to keep up with casters. Fun, and a bit silly. Superheroes don't need magic!

The Coalescant: Literally a refluffed Feruchemist class concept. Not a lot of time spent on this. Might rework it eventually.

The Arcane Pugilist: The contest was to build around the 8 schools of magic. Naturally, I built simultaneously the most literal interpretation and a class completely unable to cast spells. Half joke, all tier 3.

The Self-Made Man: Sure, you can turn yourself into a robot in under 20 levels, but can you give yourself laser eyes and a rocket punch in the process?

_____________Pathfinder Homebrew_____________Any reviews, criticisms, or advice would be greatly welcome.
Entries marked with an asterisk (*) are technically incomplete but workable.
Entirely incomplete entries, and those needing overhauls or re-works, have been moved to the "Cutting Room Floor" below.

Warshaper
A popular, though overpowered 3.5 class given new abilities and better customization to fit in more effectively with Pathfinder PrC's.

Mercenary
Martial base class that specializes and synergizes with his team and gains abilities as he increases in his professions.

Ravager
Adrenaline based SAD prestige class designed to put a little more "oomph" in a mundane melee build.

Wierdlings
A half-aberration hybrid race with the ability to change their physical features when needed.

Nightmare Priest
Horror-themed prestige class usually taken by antipaladins who learn to exploit their enemies' doubts in terrifying new ways.
This link includes extensive additional material related to the Nightmare Priest PrC.

______________Cutting Room Floor______________Other homebrew and failed threads that aren't up to snuff or worth putting on display.

Spoiler: Cutting Room Floor

Show

Encyclopedia Elementa
A remake of the elemental planetouched, giving them a little more flavor and more interesting abilities. Four races in the making, with archetypes and feats for all.
This project is partially completed and still a work in progress, though several of the races are ready for play.

Mageblade
Hybrid mundane/caster who gains magic from the items he uses.

Suffering Specter
An undead template for the ghost of those who suffered the most in death. This template comes in several varieties (beheaded, burned, drowned, etc.), depending on the method of execution.
Biskmatar
Mundane base class that makes the most of his allies' spells and magic.

Calculated Spell
A +0 metamagic that allows you to increase consistency or volatility in variable spells.

Eleven individuals with legendary powers never before seen in the realms find themselves on a quest to ascend into divinity, working with and against each other in a dynamic political plot. Players start off as one of 11 super-heroic base classes, each with unclear motives. The twist? The classes they choose not to play become their rivals throughout the campaign.

If you are going to shorten my name go with "Akaz" instead of "Aka" its less confusing.
Also I may End up Capatalizing the BEginning of words, or mispelleing them interly.

Re: The Homebrewer's Extended Signature

You're better off moving on, picking up a hobby, and developing yourself as an individual. Sorry for your pain Milo

Proceed to dredge up every potential avenue to offend and hurt her from everything she's revealed about herself to you or shown herself to be by her actions and beliefs. Leave no stone unturned in expressing your utter and complete revulsion for her and everything she's ever done or stood for.

Knowledge (local) being trained only, and not a class skill for many classes, means that your average human may well not be able to identify other humans! This may explain the exceptional quantity of half-human hybrids.

Re: The Homebrewer's Extended Signature

Homebrew by Adam1949

Please be calm; I'll update the tables at some point when I've got free time

Base Classes

The Cruroclast: A manipulator of blood, allowing characters to heal and viciously slaughter at their whim. High Tier 4 (Nova damage, Healing).The Dreadnought: A follower of the Sublime Way, understanding how to turn defense into a formidable offence. Tier 3 (Defense, Martial Initiate).The Strider: A swift practitioner of the Sublime Way, mastering the art of both ranged combat and two-weapon fighting. Tier 3 (Ranged, Nova, Speed, Martial Initiate).

Prestige Classes

The Winter Court Emissary and the Summer Court Warden: A pair of fae-themed spellblades that are similar, yet polar (heh) opposites working for two war-torn fairy courts. The Winter Court Emissary is a cold-focused agent of the Unseelie Court, while the Summer Court Warden is a fire-flavored minion of the Seelie. Entered for the 44th Prestige Class Contest, and my first ever post on these forums. Also the Winner of the 44th Prestige Class Contest!The Scion of the Ur-Dragon: A draconic warrior that has mastered the power of breath weapons. Meant to give some love to the Dragonfire Adept and the Dragon Shaman both.The Chromatic Truthseeker: A Truespeak-based detective whose mastery of color-coded words allows them to manipulate the very fabric of reality and narrative rules. Entered in the 45th Prestige Class Contest. I enjoy some things too much not to mix them.The Landsknecht: A 5-level prestige class that focuses on cleaving, being pompous, and using really big weapons. It also grants a few Martial Maneuvers, even for characters that didn't have them before.

The Mythos System (Inspired and Created by Xefas)

The Mythic Dvati: An offshoot of Xefas' Mythos subsystem, this feat/class feature mix is meant to represent the strange twin-race known as the Dvati. My first completed part of the Mythos Project.The Mythic Fairy: Another creation stemming from Xefas' Mythos subsystem, this feat/class feature mixture allows a character to recognize and utilize their fey bloodline, manifesting wondrous powers as they slowly take on the form of their ancestors.The Mythic Vampire: Gee, I sure like Xefas' Mythos subsystem, don't I? This time, it's about bloodsuckers throughout popular fiction, from both classical and modern sources.The Mythic Giant: Yet another Mythos subsystem addition (I should do stuff besides these, in all honesty), focused on beings that are large and, most likely, in charge. Your character shall be the great Mountain, uncaring about any that are smaller than they... and by the end of it all, that covers quite a bit of the world.The Mythic Illumian: Alright, so this one is cribbing a bit on Xefas' Mythic Human somewhat, considering Illumians, according to 3.5, are humans. But you know, they're unique enough in my books to warrant their own racial legends.

Other Things

The Furious Godhunter: An archetype for the Pathfinder Barbarian, meant to face against angels, demons, clerics, and other outsider/divine types. Entered in the Pathfinder Grab Bag Competition #23.
